sorry about my english..

do you have the same problem ?

grtz
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
A whole bunch of people have this problem. There is no fix for it just now. Either send your phone to be replaced or wait patiently for someone in the community to discover a solution.
[LG Optimus 3D] lg_wizard:
found a cure

just incase you are still stuck,

i had this happen to me today and tech support were useless......

so, i found how to fix it myself....

simply connect your LG optimus to your internet connected computer and voila!!!! simple fix and so quick.

How to fix firmware update on 0%

Ik this is late but to fix it you need to have another phone of the exact phone that is working. Download the lg support tool online. Then open the support tool and plug in the working phone. Click on install usb driver on the left and follow the instructions. If it says update is only wirelessly, click ok then click ok and click options on top right and hit update and recovery. Now, if it downloads the software, unplug the working phone and plug in the phone that is stuck on the firmware update one the download on the pc is finished it will restart the firmware update and it should work. Hope this helps for anyone else with this problem.

Im running a mac how do u do this via mac i also dont have another phone to do this
[EVO 4G General] adambomb6:
Seems like some people have said they are more trouble than they are worth. I have two Evo's in the house. I don't really have signal issues but the support dude said he would send it for free so I bit.
[EVO 4G General] Jason Black:
I have one. Its awesome. And why are they sending you one if you dont have signal issues?
[EVO 4G General] iwin2000:
can you use the airraave as a wifi router as well and connect it to a cable modem for internet access, or does it only work for Sprint's network? I would love one if it was like an all in one broadband/mobile network hotspot.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Support can't even send one. Did you get an order number? Are you sure you weren't speaking with retention?
[EVO 4G General] Jason Black:
Nope.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
It's fantastic if you have real signal issues in your house. I would be a very frustrated customer without one. I can't imagine what trouble people have with theirs; I don't even think about the damn thing 99% of the time.
[EVO 4G General] adambomb6:
I'm pretty sure my problem is this....Calls placed with google voice cut off after 30 minutes

so the support guy reset all my crap, new prl, redid the activation, all the normal stuff they do. I doubt it will fix it, and he connected me to the other dept that is going to send out an air rave. I don't have great signal, but I don't think this is the issue. Sounds like it is worth trying out though.
[EVO 4G General] lijujg:
seeing issues with ROM's

works great with stock firmware; seeing issues with CM7.0 and CM7.1 where it doesnt automatically find the air rave without my typing in *99
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
I used mine for a week or two, then got rid of it, too many problems. First off, the damn thing is a total bandwidth hog. Since there is no way to control what phone numbers get to use it, ALL my neighbors were apparently on it, using all my bandwidth all day long. Second, texts on both of my phones would randomly not send and not receive. Third, your phone's gps will be off. The airave puts out it's own gps signal, which is over a mile away from where it actually is, therefore your phone thinks you are a mile away, which makes using google maps to navigate somewhere a pain.

I spent hours on the phone with airave tech support, these are all "features" of the airave...I.e. the airave is programmed to give your phone a false gps reading.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I never had that problem. Hmmm...
[EVO 4G General] Jfree3000:
Used mine for a day and got rid of it for that very reason, I could not connect to the internet to save my life.
[EVO 4G General] ncadden:
I'm assuming you tried using the online option that allows you to restrict all phone numbers besides the one on your account & weren't successful with it?

The difference has been night & day since I did that, speed wise on the rest of my network. It still goes out every once in a while, but a reboot usually fixes it & I literally would have no service if not for having mine.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Yes, I tried that, but it wouldn't work. I then called Airave tech support, and was told they stopped letting you do that because they were having problems with it.
[EVO 4G General] M2Iceman:
How do you do this? I have noticed that when noone is using the phones, the signal light on the Rave is blinking like someone is on it and I didnt know what that was. Also the bandwidth in my house no is horrible. I cant even watch a video on Youtube without it stopping to buffer. If you can help me with this so I can change the settings that would be great, Thx.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
That really sucks, I just moved and get horrible signal but I do not want to use an Airave if it basically means all my neighbors will bog my network way down!
[EVO 4G General] SilentSummer:
Signal is horrid where I live (for any service) so having the airave is a must.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
If you read my post just a half inch above yours, you would see you can't do it anymore, airave blocked that feature.
[EVO 4G General] Vodad:
I love mine, we could not use our phones in our house at all until we got ours. our neighbors live far enough away that we never have anyone using our signal, and I have pretty good internet so I doubt it would do much anyway.
[EVO 4G General] someonenewhere:
Sprint offered me an Air Rave a while back ago, what exactly does it do though?

Enhance your 3G? does it work with 4G?
[EVO 4G General] zfxp:
I have an airrave and it works great! for the most part. Lol.
[EVO 4G General] Cares:
Airvana caused more head aches than it was worth for me. I would randomly get periods of time where I cannot make calls. Or I would get "Failed to send SMS" ...but the receiver gets the messages 5-6 times!!!

Once I unplug the Airvana all of these go away. I am fed up with it...I just Force Roam if I'm going to be talking for a long time at home.
[EVO 4G General] someonenewhere:
but what exactly does the AirRave do though?

when they offered it to me, I said no because I didn't know what it was gonna do..
[EVO 4G General] ausch30:
I've seen a lot of responses and I just happen to pick this one to quote. The Airave is a femtocell that uses your broadband connection to create a local 3G "hotspot", it doesn't do 4G at all.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femtocell

I've had my Airave for a bit more than a year and I love it. The only issue Ive had is that at times, when trying to send and receive too many texts at once, I end up text bombing my recipients. it is a bit of an annoyance but it doesn't really happen all that often. With the exception of that, my home internet is just what I pay for (15 down/5 up) and the Airave has no effect on it. My data is great, my call quality is great, I absolutely love having it, couldn't imagine not having it.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
If you read the instructions you would have figured out that you can program what numbers can use the airave for situations such as this one. People need to learn to read.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Again, I did read the instructions, and I did try to block numbers by doing what they said, going onto mysprint and adding the numbers I want. But again, this service has been blocked by airvana, because they were having problems with it. There is no way to block numbers on an airave, unless you blocked the numbers before they locked the service.
[EVO 4G General] pottyvick:
I dont believe this is true. I was able to block all numbers via sprint.com

Sprint walked me through it so Im sure it still works.
[EVO 4G General] fierceeagle2003:
How do u do online option? And set it just to my number?
[EVO 4G General] pottyvick:
Its under my preferences. and you have to switch the device to the airave.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Hmm i just saw that. They must have just re-enabled this, I tried to do it two weeks ago and it was greyed out still.
[EVO 4G General] a454nova:
AIRAVE

I have two on my account. I have 9 devices on my account. I gave lines to my brothers and they both live in dead spots (apartments), and they have to have them. I called Sprint and said my brother lived in an apartment and has nothing for service, it keeps trying to roam but gets just enough from Sprint to take it out of roam, over and over. Sent it to me free. Called for my other brother, they gave me a little bit of crap but sent me another free. I have to send them back when I'm done but no charge monthly... nothing.

Now... Assuming that you have the newer one. It will do Voice and 3G, not 4G. Covers about 6000 sq ft. They work VERY WELL!! Its just a mini cell tower just for you and that's all it is. It sends everything to Sprint via the internet.

What you need to know... 1. It matters to have the right internet. Its not a real big hog but it does require good bandwidth. The more phones that are on it, the more it needs. 2. It matters on how its setup. Before your router or after the router and router settings. Is the router a POS. ect.

The device it self is like gold, and if its all setup right... Works well! Most (not saying all) of the people that cry are because they are lucky to velcro their shoes in a shoe lace world. They need to call Geek Squad.

Is it nice to have if you don't need it? Not really. Your just burning up your internet for no reason and if the Cell Tower is strong enough, it won't switch over. Also the switch from Tower to femtocell is always smooth but its not always from femtocell to Tower.

All your settings are on Sprint and sometimes take a while to popup after you get your Airave. You can always just call Sprint and they will add the numbers you want and block the rest, if you live close enough to other people.

Its under "My preferences" tab, right hand column of "All about my account". "Manage my AIRAVE". There are also Range Settings too.

Good luck! :)
[EVO 4G General] Jpr0930:
Mine works great. No issues.
[EVO 4G General] github:
Just got mine today. Took a bit to setup (mostly my fault) because I didn't want it sitting between the cable modem and the router. Apparently it does this for Quality of Service reasons.

Anyway, I have it setup as just another node on the LAN. Several "guides" out there that really don't work. The only thing I had to do was enable IPSec passthrough in DD-WRT and about 2mins later it was all setup (solid mobile light). Oh, and I gave it a static DHCP lease based on its MAC address printed on the bottom of the device.

So far so good. It just sucks that I have to use my internet to fix Sprints spotty coverage. At least it's free to use.
[EVO 4G General] cantrben:
When my Airrave worked it was great! The only problem I experienced was moving from the Airrave to Cell towers my call would drop every time. Now it just sits on my desk with the mobile light flashing and no matter what I've tried it just won't work anymore and tech support is useless...
[EVO 4G General] ttugrad95:
I've had one for about 6 months in my office because I get no signal at all. It works pretty well except for the text message failed to send message and the recipient getting bombed issue others have mentioned. It usually takes a reboot of the phone to clear that message and for text messaging to work correctly for a while. Regardless of whether you can restrict numbers or not I would question whether you would have an issue with your neighbors using up your bandwidth unless you live in an apartment and your immediate neighbors have Sprint in which case their phones will pick up the strongest signal. In my office building I lose my signal when I move more than about 20 - 30 feet from the device, granted it is an office building with pretty thick walls. If I recall in the menu for the device itself when you connect directly to it with a computer you can select the signal strength and I set mine at max. It is a little tricky to set up behind a router which is a requirement on a corporate network and IMO the best way to do it at home as well. It does on rare occasion lose its sync and the mobile light blinks amber requiring you to unplug and replug the power and go through the long boot and sync process during which you are without service.

Last time I checked you could restrict numbers but word of warning. If you get no Sprint signal without the Airave and have to factory reset your device the Airave will not recognize your phone and the online restrictions settings take a while to take effect. At least that was my experience one time.

Bottom line, if you get no signal somewhere and want to remain with Sprint its a great device. If you get a reliable signal but just want to make it stronger, then its probably not worth the trouble. Who cares whether it is 4G or not (its not) because if you are within range of the Airave you are most likely in range of WIFI.
[EVO 4G General] pottyvick:
I didnt have to do anything special. I connected it to my router and not direct to the modem and it started up quick. Maybe I got lucky
[EVO 4G General] Veereihen6:
I got mine about 6 months ago too....thing is worthless. It works intermittently for me, the mobile LED is always flashing.
[EVO 4G General] github:
I had to enable IPsec passthrough for it to work based on the firewall logs... however the static DHCP was to keep it outside my small pool of addresses I allow for my house.

It was easy, but I made it harder than it needed to be. I could have even skipped the static DHCP part, but that was my choice to move it outside the pool of IPs set aside for household use.
[EVO 4G General] boneman1982:
Ours works great, I did have to hook up the GPS antenna to get the mobile to work, but once it did, it works great. We couldn't make a call from inside our house and now get 3 bars throughout.
[EVO 4G General] adambomb6:
Mine should be here in a few days, should be interesting to see how it works out, looks like I've got a pretty good chance of it being useful.

My friend has verizon and is out in the woods with poor service at home. I told him to call and see if they would give him and air rave (verizon equivalent) and they said sure for $250 :eek: could not get it for free and they admitted his is on the fringe. So they let him out of his contract so he can switch if he wants lol
[EVO 4G General] infallibleapex:
I had one.. and it was OK..

my girlfriend had to call me 3-4 times in a row before my phone would ring.. it would just say "not available" or something..

SMS messages would not be sent, or i would receive them with all kinds of crazy times that they were received.

If you have no other option, it's worth it.. If you want it just cause it's cool, you're wasting your time. Since I've moved out of my old apt. I just tossed it into a box in storage. Life is better without it :P
[EVO 4G General] adambomb6:
This is exactly the same conclusion I came to yesterday. I tried it out for a few weeks after getting it and it just caused me to many issues to be worth keeping. I get 1-2 bars without it so I would only recommend using an airave if you have NO other options and you get NO coverage without it.

It's now unplugged. It might be handy if I go on vacation to the mountains or something where there is no coverage and can plug it into internet there lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] liquidblue1985:
I need some help, looked around the forums and cannot find a fix.

I recently updated to 2.3.3 and can't for the life of me get the External SD card to be read while in USB storage mode.

I've also noticed that I have to press the "Turn on USB storage" button twice to just get the Internal SD Card to mount. The first time it shows loading but then does nothing (could be primary issue).

I can see the Internal SD card but not the external. It also seems that when I turn on USB storage and then off, I have to physically re-mount the External SD card to get it to even read it. Anyone have any suggestions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rutabega:
This is exactly what I had when I upgraded to GB 2.3.3.

I took out sd from my G2X and reformatted on my Mac, then put it back. That solved my problem in my case.

Hello,

- i'm the proud owner of an LG P500, i mannaged to "kill" it alot of times, one time i bricked it so bad the power button was useless. I'm going to tell you how i always manneged to fix it.

1. - install the USB DRIVERS for LG P500 Download LINK

2. - extract the KDZ archive , install msxml.msi, Download LINK, Download Froyo 2.2.2. v10E.kdz after that open >> KDZ_FW_UPD.exe, select type 3GQCT and mode DIAG (select this only if your phone starts when you connect the USB and the battery charging logo apears) if the phone starts in Emergency Mode or dosen't start at all >> remove battery and while holding the BACK and volume UP buttons connect the USB, the phone should start in Emergency Mode, after that select in KDZ, MODE > EMERGENCY, select file > V10E_00.kdz and press the "Launch software update" .

- wait for KDZ to do it's job ( until it says FINISHED) after it is finished it will reset the phone (alot of times the phone wolden't start after reset and i had to start it manualy @power button) an LG logo should apear , then an Android logo, wait about 5 - 10 min (the phone should start and you will have froyo 2.2.2. working), but if the Android LOGO stops or lags for 2,3 seconds then you must remove battery , put it back , and power on the phone. if it dose the same thing , then you must reflash your phone. Usualy it works with the battery on and simply flashing under DIAG mode.

- after reflashing if you have the same problem , you must remove battery and try installing it DIAG mode. if it still dosen't work enter emergency mode ( UP + BACK + connect USB (or press the power button)) and reflash using KDZ , MODE >>> EMERGENCY.

- when phone is connected go to COMPUTER > PROPERTIES > DEVICE MANAGER > MODEMS > and disable LGE Modem.. (some say it helps i diden't saw any difference.)

- as i was saying i killed my phone alot of times, KDZ always helped me bring it back to life , be patient.. and if you get alot of errors and flash meny times the phone gets hot , leave it to cool for a while and then try again.

be patient !! hope this will help you ..

sorry for my bad english !!
